THERE are few of us who can cheerily 
make our daily round without hel£ from 
fellow souls. WV need the friendly 
thought, the encouraging word to kee£ 
us at our lest, strong and willing to 
encounter the trials which heset every 
£ath. "Nerve us with affirmatives,' " 
said Emerson, knowing well the weak- 
ness of the human heart and its tendency 
to falter under the lurden of Jiving. 
Affirmatives of the kind Emerson he~ 
sought, are these "Catch words of cheer, ** 
with which men and women of tried 
wisdom have striven to embolden those of 
narrower experience and more shadowy 
beliefs. Each is a glad evangel spoken 
from the heart to the heart and potent 
in its truth and comfort. They have done 
much to make life worth living to the 
compiler, who gathers them into the pres- 
ent volume with the faith that they will 
minister to others with a similar effect. 

Sara A. Hubbard. 

Chicago, Se£t. 1, 1905.
